Grandmother's
Fugitive Charge
Dropped by Judge
Denver
(UPII
A grand
mother who has been "on the
lam" in Denver for 11 years I
will be allowed to stay here. I
California authorities have j
been looking for Mrs. Con
itance Lebrun, 58, since 1949,
when she broke parole and
fled to Colorado.
Mrs.' Lebrun finally gave
herself up, but District Judge
Don D. Bowman has dismissed
the fugitive charge which
would have forced her return
to California.
Attorney Comes To Aid
The woman called Denver
police May 24 to confess. They
figured she was just a little
drunk, jailed her for the
night and then released her.
But after checking her finger
prints with the FBI, a routine
procedure, they rearrested her
and extradition proceedings
were started.
An attorney for a former
employer came to her aid. The
lawyer, Robert R o 1 1 m a n,
wrote to California officials
about Mrs. Lebrun's good rec
ord in Denver and pleaded
that she be kept under super
vision in Colorado.
California was agreeable to
this, so Bowman released her
from custody.
"I found happiness in Den
ver despite the shadow hang
ing over me," Mrs. Lebrun
said. "The people here have
been grand."
She was never arrested in
Denver until she turned her
self in after brooding over
the illness of her aged parents
in California.
Served Prison Term
Mrs. Lebrun, who has three
children and nine grandchil
dren, first was imprisoned in
1932 for aiding her husband
in car thefts. She spent two
years in prison and then was
divorced.
In 1940, she passed two bad
checks for $60 to obtain'
money for food, and was sent
to prison for five years. She
was released on parole in
1944, but was returned the
next year for failing to make
reports to her supervising of
ficer. She was again paroled
in 1948.
"I'm out looking for a job,"
Mrs. Lebrun said. "When I'm
free of this thing, someday, I
hope to return to my children.
All my life the only thing I've
wanted was a. home."
USSR Youngsters
Said Lacking in
Hospital Care
Washington - (Science Serv
ice) - Many critically ill Rus
sian children must be treated
at home in spite of major in
creases in the number of
hospital beds, John F. Kant
ner of the Bureau of Census
here reports.
In a recent year, 44 per cent
of the children who died from
pneumonia in Russia's city
areas died in their homes,
Kantner writes in Population I
Trends in Eastern Europe,
the USSR and Mainland
China, a study published in
New York by the Milbank
Memorial fund.
The percentage of home
treatment reached 73 per cent
in one rural area of Russia in
1955, Kantner writes.
"There is evidence of cer
tain deficiencies in the regu
I a r medical establishments
and other institutions for
child care which could con
tribute to a high incidence of
deaths from pneumonia, as
well as from other diseases."
Lists Inadequacies
Kantner reports inadequa
cies in the care of premature
infants including "the use of
hot water bags instead of in- i
cubators." I
Kantner reports that a sur- 1
vey of hospitals in Baku show
ed that of 59 children who
died from diphtheria in one i
hospital, only six had gotten
anti-diphtheria shots.
The researchers also noted
that Russian doctors assigned
to out-of-the-way places some
times do' not show up. Be
cause of these AWOLs there
were 30 hospitals that had no !
physicians at all In one re- ,
mote area. j
Kantner says observations
leave "little doubt" that the !
Soviet medical system is un
evenly developed and that the
conquest of disease is a brok- ,
en, uneven front.
In contrast to the failures,
"progress seems to have been
made" in those areas where
simple administrative actions
or low cost preventive meas
ures are effective.
